A word from OPTI-WOT (THE
OPTIMISTIC WAY OF THINKING)
Dear sisters
Self-love is a journey. It takes dedication,
devotion, and practice. Resolve to love
yourself each and every day and watch your
best self-blossom and your greatest life
unfold! Self-love is an exponential force.
Imagine how you treat yourself on a daily basis
as if you were another person, in a relationship
with you.
Are you good to yourself? Is your mind kind to
your body and soul?
In my practice and my own psycho-spiritual
journey, I see that at times we all:
*Beat ourselves up with cruel self-talk
*Set ourselves up for failure with unrealistic
expectations
*Deprive ourselves of things we deserve through
self-sabotaging behaviours
*Abuse our bodies through neglect or harmful
choices
These behaviours wreak havoc on our mental
and physical health, our relationships, and our
careers. We must choose a different path.
Until next time
I've come to believe that perhaps our
greatest life lesson is learning how to fully
accept and love ourselves.
For only when we are truly aligned with our
own beautiful and unique spirit, can we
completely and authentically give and
receive real love. This is because when we
love ourselves, we know that we can give
without becoming resentful, exhausted and
depleted, and we can receive because we
know we deserve it. Self-love is the
prerequisite for complete immersion in the
abundant flow of light and love in the world
around us.

Q. Aslmz , I am a stay at home mother of
three and my son has been diagnosed
with ADHD. I am finding it really difficult
to handle him and everything at home.
He is on medication, but I prefer we
don’t give it to him all the time.
A Wslmz Dear sister.
I would have like to know the age of
your son and how long ago was he
diagnosed, and the severity of the
ADHD, nevertheless, here are a few
general tips you can use, Insha’Allah , it
will be beneficial to you.
Raising a child with ADHD isn’t like
traditional childrearing. Normal rule-
making and household routines can
become almost impossible, depending
on the type and severity of your child’s
symptoms, so you’ll need to adopt
different approaches. It can become
frustrating to cope with some of the
behaviours which result from your child’s
ADHD, but there are ways to make life
easier.
